Many moons ago I happened upon Anders Lindgren's .emacs file and the follow-mode which
is now part of the emacs distribution. There was also a folding mode in that file and
below is some of the comments. It looks like it might do some of what you want
although you will have to put markers in your code. I had a PC code editor that would
collapse functions and/or methods of a class to just the name without having to imbed
any magic tokens. It was kind of nice to get an otherview of the file. However, know
when I'm in emacs editing a code file whenever I do a right mouse click I get a list
of functions. For me this way is just as easy to use as the collapse/expand
methodology.
;; Folding Mode -- Written by Jamie Lokier, But I have spent some
;; time enahncing it. It allows you to make
;; parts of your code invisible. You use
;; markers on the form `{{{' and `}}}' to
;; build up an hierarchy. Folding allows you
;; to view only the headers (making them look
;; like a menu or directory listing). It can
;; also narrow the text so that everything outisde
;; a fold is invisible.
